I Mr. (3 ARROW, as leading Counsel for, the Plaintiff, tated,lhat, it was one of, the 11106 t aggravated case for which a Plaintiff coul',o demand reparation from the hands of a P.) , .: mastnuch as the maticiona cond,ueit of thpetendal. l l. might have subjeiited the pi„i ot a tir ene. most, rlous consequences: He then &laded the eircumst nes •of the case. as fol• laws ir---Some old build;; Ll gs ,having been pulled d ow .,'; at Greenwich, the Old materials were sold in lots, which the buyers wete to carry away ;• a dis pute arose as to some of the old timbers,. ,and in consequence of that Oispve the timber, was sot ized to remain for a consideritble time, lying in the road near the church-yard. 'The Churchwardens consi dering .it as a nuisance where it lay, applied to the Plaintiff, who, was a sespe&able coal and timber merchant at Greenwich, and desired him to take it away: he sent .his,. team of horses, and publicly dragged it into his own timber-yard. The Defend ant, who was a broker, also residing at Greenwich, having some claith on the timber, about three weeks after Wards appliedto the Magistrates fora Warrant against the 'Plaintiff for a felony, and desired 'he plight have it granted immediately, as he said the Plaintiff would otherwise abscOnd. On this retire , sentation the warrant was granted for the Plaintiff to appear. two hbOrs afterwards betbre a Bench of Ma gistrates ; he did appear, and, when the complaint was heard, the Magistrates disnii§sed it as too frivol ous to be supported; The Defendant, however, net satisfied 'with this deisiori`Of the Magistrates against him, went to the next Assizes, .and presented) bill of indlament.against the Plaintiff, which was found tide bill ; the Plaintiff was consequently compelled to appear at the next Assizes to takeliS trial, but the Defendant did not-think proper to:pursue fur ther hischarge, add he was aequitted , as a matter of course. Mr. GARROW called 'Witnesses, who 'proved these faas;.and that the Plaintiff was put to the expehte of 'l5Ol. in his defence to ,the indictment.--- It also appeared that the Defendant had no claim whatever to the wood in question, but that the dis puted right was between the Plaiutiff and a Mr. Powys. Mr. Serjeant. SHEPPE/IP, for the Defendant, in sisted, that there was a probable cause for the in.- dietment, which repelled any presuMption of malice, as the timber was carried away befote.day , - light. He also called witnesses to prove this fad, but their testimony did not bear out thestatement. • The Loitn Cuter BAttort said, be thought , the conduet of the Defendant had been most culpable; be had refused to be satisfied with the deCision" of a Bench of Justices,-be bad wilfully 'refused all ex . planation, .and had thought proper to resort to mea sures which might have ended in the ruin of the Plaintiff. His Lordship added, that; in his opinion, the Plaintiffbad made out a case which entitled him to the most ample compensation. - The Jury found a verdict for the'Plaintiff---Da mages 4001. CROWN SIDE. Russent lif‘Cartltywa* indicted for a rape on Mary Limit. The eVicLince given by the Prosecu trix in this case was—that she was sent to Dartford Bridewell,.under a charge of fortune-telling, and the Prisoner was also cOmmitted to the.same custo dy for some trivial offence ; being fellow prihuners, he took the opportunity of night and darkness to ravish her...-This story was, however, contradiCted by. Witnesses, who proved that they were in an ad, joining room, and could hear all that passed between ; the Prisoners, and that if she had been ravished slug had borne it very quietly, fur she made' no. outcry during the night. • The Jury immediately acquitted the Prisoner. William Henry Kennedy was • capitally indiaed for stealing ii. 14s. in money, and a. promissory ',tote, value 11. privately, in.the,dwelling-hou.e of dohn Jones. Mr. JoneS stated, that he kept a public-house at Gillingham, in this County ; the Prisoner came to lodge at the house on the ,25th ot , January last ; oti the night of the 26th, while the Prisoner was sitting with Mrs. Jones in the bar, he delivered her the Money, which she placed on a bench, and shortly after left the bar to go into the coffee-room. The. Prisoner took this opportunity to leave the bar ; and when she returned she found the money was gone. The Prisoner not coming ,horne that night, and no other person having been there, he was suspected to be the person who had taken it. On the next day Mr. Jones said be met him in the street, and im mediately apprehended him. The Prisoner said, that there were other persons about, the house, and they might have taken the money ; but Mr. Jones, being called again,, denied this, and said all ,the family were gone to bed.-- V e ;ci i Susan Rennet VMS indiaed tin - stealing 51.165. pri .
